NBA commissioner David Stern recently confirmed what every true NBA fan already knew: The NBA Lockout of 2012 is to blame for the majority of the injuries that we've seen during the condensed season. While appearing on the CBS Sports Network, Stern stated the following.
"There is some part of it that may be related to that," Stern said Tuesday during an appearance on the CBS Sports Network. "I think some part of it is luck and some part of it is lack of preparedness by our players before the season began. It's a combination of things.....The one thing I do know is that we've had more lost games because of injuries, because the compressed schedule takes away a day of rest for a minor injury. ... We're going to look at the precise numbers at the end of the season and we'll try to have a view of it because it's spread out differently as well. Some teams don't practice. Some teams do. I don't know whether it relates," the commissioner added.....Some teams actually worked out with the players alone all summer and some didn't. We're going to try to see whether we can learn something from this compressed season in the way that teams approach it."
